At its core, the system combines solar photovoltaic arrays with a flow battery storage setup that could power 15,000 homes. But here's the kicker—they're using retired EV batteries from Europe, giving old power packs new purpose under the African sun [1]. [pdf]
Developed by Norwegian renewables company Scatec ASA, in partnership with Egypt’s national grid operator, Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC), the project combines 1GW of solar power with 100MW/200MWh of lithium-ion battery storage. [pdf]
French developer Voltalia will construct a 100 MW solar farm in Gabès province. A consortium of Norway's Scatec and Japan's Aeolus, a unit of Toyota Tsusho, will develop a 100 MW PV plant near Mazouna in Sidi Bouzid Governorate, all equiped with Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) [pdf]
Lithium-ion home batteries are energy storage devices that utilize lithium-ion cells to store and discharge electrical energy. Unlike traditional lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries offer higher energy density, faster charging times, and a longer lifespan. [pdf]
Paris, January 10, 2023 – Saft, a subsidiary of TotalEnergies, has been awarded a major contract by Meridian Energy to construct New Zealand’s first large-scale grid-connected BESS. [pdf]

Masen tendered contracts to develop and operate the Noor Midelt 2 and Noor Midelt 3 solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage system (bess) projects this year. The Noor Midelt 2 solar independent power project (IPP) consists of a 400MW solar PV power plant with battery storage of two hours. [pdf]
The AlmaGBA tender aims to secure capacity for utilities Edenor and Edesur in the capital, Buenos Aires. The awarded projects from the first Argentinian BESS tender are expected to begin commercial operations in the next 12 to 18 months. [pdf]
MITEI’s three-year Future of Energy Storage study explored the role that energy storage can play in fighting climate change and in the global adoption of clean energy grids. .
Energy storage is a potential substitute for, or complement to, almost every aspect of a power system, including generation, transmission, and demand flexibility. Storage should be co-optimized with clean generation, transmission systems, and strategies to reward. .
The need to co-optimize storage with other elements of the electricity system, coupled with uncertain climate change impacts on demand and supply, necessitate advances in analytical tools to. .
Lithium-ion batteries are being widely deployed in vehicles, consumer electronics, and more recently, in electricity storage systems. These batteries have, and. .
Goals that aim for zero emissions are more complex and expensive than net-zero goals that use negative emissions technologies to achieve a reduction of 100%. The pursuit of a zero, rather than net-zero, goal for the electricity system could result in high. [pdf]

From Europe to North America, former coal mines are transforming into renewable energy storage sites. These abandoned shafts now serve as gravity batteries, storing excess energy by lifting and lowering heavy weights. [pdf]
[FAQS about The relationship between coal mines and new energy storage]
The Al Kharsaah project sort of gets this, combining 1.2GW solar with 400MWh storage. Doha's 2025 mandate requires all new solar farms to include 30% storage capacity. Here's why that matters: Advanced EMS systems now predict cloud cover 15 minutes ahead using AI – boosting dispatch accuracy by 40%. [pdf]
Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. (CATL) has unveiled two lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery variants tailored for Europe’s electric-vehicle market, signaling a deeper push into the region’s supply chain. [pdf]
